Borderlands 2 Mechromancer DLC Out Now

Update: Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford confirmed via Twitter the download content is hitting a week earlier. It now releases Tuesday, October 9 on all platforms. Pitchford says it should be available to download by the end of the day.

-------------------

Original Story: Gearbox Software confirmed the upcoming download content Mechromancer is coming October 16 for $10 or 800 Microsoft Points. The Mechromancer content is available for free if you pre-order the game. Gearbox said it plans to release four additional DLC content for Borderlands 2 that can be purchased individually or part of a Season Pass.

It's good to hear that the content is going to be done ahead of schedule. The original estimate of 60-90 days was a little too long for me. In a perfect world, I'd get to get start the game with this character on Sept. 18th, but I'll have to make due with Axton for now.

Seriously... I'm pretty sure I dated Ms. Mechromancer in high school. I don't know who designs these characters but whoever it is either went to my high school or dated/married my ex. I don't remember her having an interchangeable metal arm but her mom was definitely Deathtrap. Especially on one particularly nasty Wednesday morning when she found her daughter's boyfriend still asleep in said daughter's bed. I don't know what this Deathtrap fellow is gonna do, but if it's anything like my ex's mom that morning, summoning this robot will definitely save your life.

Am I the only one that seems bothered by the "Season Pass" philosophy that companies are now taking with their games? Everything has it. Everything! Why not offer it as a free incentive to pre-order? Mass Effect 3 offered its online content free to anyone who purchased a new copy and entered their code. Seriously, BF3 has their 50.00 pass for DLC. MW has their 15.00 download charge for every map pack that comes out.. I'll get off my soapbox. I'm stoaked that this add on is free. I'm not stoaked that there is talk of a pass to get future downloadable content. I dont know, I just hate 'em.
